Have only Windows Classic for themes

[fallguy 0]

Topic pretty much says it all. I just installed RTM, build 2600. BOth RC1 and RC2 had the new XP themes. For some reason a clean install of 2600 doesnt. I check in add/remove, dont see them there. Any ideas?

Ok.. it seems installing new video drivers did the trick. No idea why, but thats all I did, rebooted and now I have all the themes.

I'd advise you to check your file versions of ntkern, user32 etc as there was a crack out there before xp was final that replaced a crapload of files with older 2535 files(including the files above)

 

I tried this out on my backup machine and upon the first boot after setup there was no themes etc and many services weren't started, however on first reboot all was fine. I can't say the box ran that great with that crack thou.

 

If you got your final XP from a reliable resource, I still suggest you check it out.
